thekitchenman Cabbage Rolls.

thekitchenman Cabbage Rolls. There are so many versions of this item that almost every country has a tried to stuff a cabbage leaf all of which use the same assembly method! Some Polish and German recipes contain mostly seasoned ground pork and beef using a little amount of rice or bread crumbs as the filler.

Spud Nut’s

This little demon is called a Spud Nut. My Aunt Marie made these at the cottage the night before. Don’t drink any of this buttermilk in the fridge she would say. That meant pancakes or donuts were going to had next morning. Soon as the dishes were all done and the men playing cards, my aunt would be planning breakfast and doing the prep.

Ruby Red Grapefruit Cake and Cream Chees...

Ruby Red Grapefruit Cake and Cream Cheese Frosting. My dad being a chef had lots of his pre 1950’s retro recipes that were handed over to me as I mastered them to his specs. He was more concerned about the quality flavours obtained and not …as finicky in the way it’s final presentation. I like to describe my way of being taught baking by my dad as colonial style. Now don’t get me wrong, my father was a very tolerant baker and over his 40 years as a Hotel Chef taught lots of lady bakers to be personal when it comes to making a cake. The fancier you like if you have...
